What We Know About Rams QB Matthew Stafford’s NFL Future

By Movieguide® Contributor

Earlier this month, rumors circulated that Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford might retire after this season. Here’s what we know about his future in the NFL.

“My understanding is that Matthew Stafford does in fact plan to play next season,” Ian Rapoport reported on THE INSIDERS. “This is essentially what he communicated to the Rams. He wanted to take some time off and basically told them ‘I feel good, I don’t see why I wouldn’t play.'”

To make it happen, the Rams would need to “rework the final two years and $49 million of his contract,” according to the Daily Mail.

Head coach Sean McVay has no doubts about whether or not the organization can figure that part out.

“We don’t want to have that go on again,” McVay told ESPN of last season when the team and Stafford agreed to an adjusted contract the day training began. “I don’t think that’s good for anybody. I think sooner than later, being able to get that clarity. Understanding clear, open, and honest communication.”

“I think there’s a lot of love coming from our part,” the head coach added. “I think there’s a lot of appreciation coming from his part as well. And I think a lot sooner than later is an ideal scenario.”

When asked if Stafford would definitely be playing for the Rams next season, all he said was, “We’ll talk about all those things at the appropriate time.”

“The quarterback is always the first thing in mind as it relates to how you move forward with the team,” McVay added.

“I know he’s playing really good football,” he said later on. “Obviously, I love him, love working with him. What he’s meant to our football team has been immeasurable in a positive way.”
